I’ve been in a bit of dark mood recently and this is the fruit of my crafty darkness…I wanted to utilise some of my beloved Canvas Corp Brands products but with, hopefully, a bit more grungy outcome..Using Canvas Corp Printed Cardboard as a base, I played with Tattered Angels Naturally Aged kit – Peeled Paint. It created a very textured look with the original cardboard circle prints showing underneath. I totally love the effect!!!In the process, the paint bubbled so I rubbed it off uncovering the layers underneath – another bonus!To add even more texture, I embossed various background stamps.As a base for the ‘face’, Architextures Short Base Wings were in perfect contrast with the darkness of the rest of the layout.The MDF wings were coloured with Tattered Angels Colour Wash; so was the face.
As the final touch, I mixed some deco stones with Glimmer Glaze and spilled it around the wings.

Can you see that texture?!?!?!
Let me tell you – DesignIt paste from Colourcraft UK is amazing!
I put it into a lace mould (one for cake decorating), gave it a couple of hours to dry and… a detailed, flexible lace came out!

All the colours are Metallic Aztec Paints by Colourcraft C&A Ltd – the project can out so much better than expected.

Being part of the Canvas Corp Brands Creative Crew has loads of perks – the main two main ones are: working with a team of amazingly talented and passionate people + working with high quality and versatile products. I can feel that I have evolved massively over the last 4months since I’ve joined CCB.

As you probably know, CCB is an umbrella company for three brands: Canvas Corp, 7gypsies and Tattered Angels. If I had to choose one – I really couldn’t. I love the gypsies because of their freedom and love for old found things, the flea markets and up cycling unloved items. I love Canvas Corp for their unlimited home decor ideas and variety of seemingly plain-looking papers that make it possible to create literally anything. I love TA because… what’s there not to love?! The unlimited colours and shades, the sparkle and the cover. Let’s not forget about the Mixed Media Origin papers… so tell me… does it get better than that? Doubt it!

To celebrate my love of Tattered Angels, I have created a project focusing around the (angel?) wings.

I have used MMO ‘Grace’ paper and a variety of blue shaded mists (chalkboards and simply sheer) – you can find links to all the products in my post on the CCB blog.
